This shop-quality Skimender repair pistol is ideal for mechanics who do a lot of base repair work or need to repair large volume gouges.
Its advantages are speed, convenience and superior repair strength.Simply insert your choice of black or clear 11mm techo stix, pull the trigger, and extrude a bead of molten p-tex to fill base gouges.
Unlike most repair pistols, the large aluminum extruding head is heated with its own element seperate from that of the body, this eliminates temperature fluctuation in the repair material and helps to pre-heat the base to ensure a strong bond.
The pistol comes to a working temperature of 530F in approximately 5 min.
The reach-adjustable trigger is very light so it takes very little pressure to extrude an adequate amount of material.
It is recommended that the user works away from themselves, using the arrow on the front of the tip to guide the tool along the repair.
The front of the head (where the arrow is) should remain approximately 1-2mm above the base, the rear should float lightly on the extruded material.
This helps to spread the base material to the adjacent base.
Most gouges are filled in just one pass.
It is important to keep the head moving at all times, a stationary head can damage the base.
Allow the repair to cool, then use a Surform (ACE-2115) followed by a >steel scraper (SAN-474) to reduce and smooth the repair .
Includes a magnetic bench stand that holds the pistol upright while not in use, it can be mounted to a wooden bench using screws.
Use with Item SHP-187033 Black techo stix or Item #SHP-187034 Clear techo stix.
